4 bedroom detached house for sale

SWANS FARMHOUSE is a quite unique former farmhouse ( not listed ) that has in the last few years been subject to a full refurbishment internally with new windows throughout. The property is now superbly presented but still offers scope for further extension and has recently secured
planning permission UTT/22/0651/HHF for conversion of one of the outbuildings into a residential 1 bedroom annexe. The current owners, having owned horses and donkeys previously, have also created secure paddocks and there is a gated yard with a water supply and two double stables.

Accommodation comprises a large reception hallway leading to a study and sitting room with twin aspect and open coal effect fireplace and has lovely views over the paddocks and gardens. Adjacent is a dining room with original floorboards and a fireplace houses an electric wood burner with wooden mantle over and tiled hearth. A door leads out onto the
large south-east rear terrace. The large kitchen/breakfast room has a lofty ceiling and
is fitted with a good range of wall and base units with oak work tops and Butler style sink. Appliances comprise an induction hob with extractor fan over a double oven with grill and integrated dishwasher. A door leads into an original pantry with built in shelves and original meat safe, granite worktop and space for a fridge. Another side hallway beyond the kitchen leads to a large boot/cloaks room (formerly a 2nd office) and a shower room. There is a utility area within the hallway providing a Butler sink and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A door leads to the rear gardens and an internal door leads to the triple bay garage.

The first floor landing gives access to a well-insulated loft which is part boarded and leads to the four bedrooms. The master has wonderful views over the gardens and open farmland, fitted wardrobes and a recently installed ensuite bathroom with roll top bath
with shower attachment and wash basin inset to a vanity unit and a heated towel rail. The three other bedrooms all offer lovely views and there is a family shower room.

Outside a five bar gate leads to the sweeping driveway providing ample parking and turning and there is a lawned are adjacent to the barns. The total plot measures approx. 1.3 acres and is divided into paddocks together with more formal gardens with an abundance of mature trees, shrubs and some floral boarders. There is also a covered area providing ideal storage for logs and bins and the oil tank is also under cover. The range of outbuildings currently comprises a double and
single garage, a former office, a games room, two large barns and two double stables within a small enclosed yard. The outbuildings have been well maintained and have light and
